This should be:
from: /trunk
to: /branches/test1
you want to merge the delta between trunk (old state) and /branches/test1
(new state) into trunk.
Have a look at the unified diff which gets created if you call "unified
diff" in the merge dialog.
The dry run possibly shows an updated file because editing of a.c in test1
consisted of a new line. Since you turned the two URLs around the delta
changed to removing a line which was never there in the first place. Thus
the file was not modified.
Instead of merging the delta of trunk@HEAD and branches/test1@HEAD you might
actually want to merge the delta between revisionX@branches/test1 and
revisionY@branches/test1 into trunk.
Please have a look at

vs.
http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-merge.html#tsvn-dug-merge-2
If this doesn't help then please be more specific about how you created the
branches (in the working copy or in the repo browser) and mention the exact
changes you made to the file.
